This machine was designed by Leonardo as a horizontal drill to bore holes through tree trunks and to make wooden water pipes .Leonardo used a screw system to support the trunk,ensuring that it will moved along while the drilling was in pipe and that its center remained aligned with the drill.
In appearance, this machine looks like very much with a modern lathe.

The second one is
The Annular Platform Crane .

Between 1420 and 1436 architect Filippo Brunelleschi designed and constructed the dome of the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore
at Florence.This project required him to overpass all kinds of new technical challenge because the huge dome have to built without wooden supports and without buttresses.
Decades later,Leonardo drew some of the machines invented by Brunelleschi,
examining their operation and suggesting improvements that could be made.
In this crane ,the load can be moved horizontally and vertically using a system of screws and counterweights.

This was the Part 3 of The perfect inventions of Leonardo Da Vinci.If you like it and you want to read and the upcoming posts you can follow my account and and stay tuned.
